As women, there are going to be times when we wonder if the world is out to get us. Admittedly, it can happen to anyone but when it happens to us, it seems as if we are the only ones who are going through it. At times, we just need to tough it out but at other times, there may be a hero standing in our corner.
For this woman, who recently broke up with her fiancé and needed new furniture, the hero came in the form of a Capital One credit card employee. Due to suspicious activity, the credit card was shut down but when she called Capital One, her new friend Tonya was there for her.
“I called and explained to this awesome woman, Tonya that my fiancé had broken up with me and I’d moved,” Grady explains. She was having a bunch of furniture sent to her new apartment, in a completely different neighbourhood, which probably set off some alarms for her credit card company. So she had to call and explain all the events in her life that got her to that point, and ended up meeting Tonya on the other end of the line – a sympathetic ear. “She was like, ‘Girl, I am giving you 4,500 free miles. Go on vacation. Take so many pictures of yourself all happy and post them all over that Instagram.’” In case you’re wondering, 4500 miles isn’t anything crazy, it probably works out to $45 – so it’s not like Tonya was doing anything wrong by offering the miles. Just being an awesome woman. But the story gets better.
Christina was putting her new house together, and had just returned from a particularly depressing trip to Home Depot, where the customer service could basically be summed up as, “You’re a woman, we are going to be assholes.” Christina left feeling like crap, since her fiancé dabbles in custom furniture making, and would normally be the one dealing with things like trips to Home Depot. She told Scary Mummy, “I left the store in tears. I was feeling like, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t do this on my own. I even need some guy to go to Home Depot with me.’” You know the feeling – we’ve all been there. The post break-up blues.
Very soon after that, Christina gets a text from her ex: “Someone sent you flowers to my house.” She thinks, “Who would be so bold?” She went to pick them up while her ex was at work, and inside the sealed card was the message, “Best Wishes, TONYA KYY905 Capital One.” TONYA SENT HER FLOWERS TO HER EX-FIANCE’S HOUSE IN A SEALED CARD.
“She sent me flowers! To my ex fiancé’s house in a sealed card!!!!!! TONYA KYY905, you are a genius and a role model to women looking out for women. #TONYAKYY905ISMYHERO PLEASE share, the whole world should know how awesome Tonya KYY905 is!!!!”
Everyone who has seen this post is loving it, and it’s going viral as we speak. Christina explains more in the comments under her story:
We could all use a Tonya in our life. She is definitely a woman who is a hero in many of our eyes.
